In the last two days there have been two stabbings in the UK. I have recently exhibited a data visualization project called Knife Nation where each stitch represents a crime committed with a knife or sharp instrument in the UK between 2013 and 2014. It saddens me to think that next year if I decide to update the project and show data from 2016 two of the stitches will be representative of one man, the murder of 60 year old man in a Hornchurch pub and the death of 16 year old Charles Kutyauripo who died in Woodford in east London on Saturday 9th January 2016.
